FC Barcelona Prepare Shock $66 Million Defender Sale To Facilitate Lionel Messi Return: Reports
FC Barcelona could sell one of their star defenders this summer in order to facilitate Lionel Messis return to the club, according to a report from madrid-barcelona.com.
Gerard Romero reported on Thursday that Barca are close to receiving the green light from La Liga in order to re-sign Messi.
According to Romero, Barca have promised that they will make two big player sales in order to capture Messi and three other new players.
Barca fans and pundits are immediately drawn to think of players such as misfit wingers Raphinha, Ferran Torres and Ansu Fati - who all have potential markets in the PremierPINC -0.2 League - heading for the chopping block.
With Raphinha and Torres both costing north of €55 million 60.4 million in 2022 when variables are added on, however, Fati is arguably the most saleable asset of the three.
The Guinea-born sensation was reared in the La Masia academy making his potential transfer present pure profit for the club, but nothing should be ruled out for any of the forwards.
